And, learn to read correctly. I didn't say other bands didn't work hard; I said that there are more people you have to go through in order to be able to chart. Gaslight didn't do anything different that many other bands do, so it was nice that it charted.

???? what does this mean? what did gaslight do/not do??? you made a point of saying their chart position was from "pure hard work" in contrast to the other bands on the chart. i can read very well, you just can't write. there's a difference.

"You all" implies I am a part of this imaginary clique of people you're talking about, which I'm not.

And Lupe deserves to be shit on. Especially "Bitch Bad". At least Chief Keef and 2 Chainz don't have any pretensions to be great auteurs or socially conscious. Lupe tries to be, and fails miserably, and the songs don't even sound good. He's bad.

You are.

I don't care what you think about Lupe. I will say that he says things that need to be said about the state of the black community. But of course what does a white kid care about that? Chief Keef thinks that the murder of a 17 year old boy in Chicago is funny and goes on twitter to joke about it. That's ok though because he has Kanye's seal of approval. Carry on.

bro i don't talk to any of those guys except soph so why don't you step off.

LOL. My problem with Lupe is that while I appreciate what he's trying to say about the state of the black community, he says them horribly - both from a technical rap standpoint and from a critical analysis standpoint. I wrote a paper about "Bitch Bad" for my sociology course, and I'm in the process of writing one about the socialization of the black community to misogyny, homophobia, and violence through hip hop. I do care. Hip Hop and race relations are things I am very passionate about and I'm likely seeking a degree relating to race and ethnic studies. Fuck off. You don't know shit.
